Cannot connect to reddit, disconnect, qwant, duckduckgo amongst others. Tried changing the DNS and flushing it then rebooting and also tried rebooting the router. I can do a speedtest and get great stats. I am getting timeouts on a lot of sites though. Even getting to this site is a bit flaky.
Anyone else having issues?

@deadman2020 - This appears to be a recurring theme this morning. If you can change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (Google's) this this should resolve your issue. You can do this in your router so it will change for every device on your network assuming you're using DHCP.

I had originally tried that but with no success. I kept getting a dns probe config error in chrome but after resettting my tcp stack, resetting my routers manual internet settings and refreshing my Kaspersky all seems well again so must have been an issue my end for some reason.

Having changed the DNS on the router you would either have needed to restart your PC or at minimum the Network Connection on the PC so it could get details of the new server. But at least you have it working, that's always good news.

If anything 8.8.8.8 is worse than the roots for me.
Somethings up anyway, this site is taking ages to show a page - seems to block for sometime waiting for a lookup on
cdn.tt.omtrdc.net
sites that work and get a good lookup may still apparently fail because their pages are waiting on some other site lookup 😞

Hmm,so it seems 8.8.4.4 is working a lot better 8.8.8.8 seems to have disappeared for me.
